Combine the flour, baking powder, Natvia and lemon zest in a bowl and stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, using a fork combine the egg, ricotta & lemon juice.
Gradually stir the flour mixture through the wet ingredients, until you have a soft and slightly sticky dough.
Sprinkle the bench top with flour and knead until the dough becomes smooth, but still slightly sticky.
Roll into 4 large balls and 4 small balls. Poke a hole through the large donuts with your finger.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan until about 180C. Drop in two large donuts and two smaller ones and fry until golden brown on each side, for about 5 minutes each.
Place on a baking paper lined wire rack to cool.
Once cool top one of the large donuts with some sour cream and jam and place a smaller donut on top.
